Hammann von Mier is a collaborative project of Stefanie Hammann and Maria VMier, two visual artists based in Munich. They work at the border of applied arts in a variety of formats and diverse collaborative contexts. Since the artist book became a main medium right from the beginning they established Hammann von Mier Verlag in 2013: the publishing house for artist books as a self-organized and constant space, an independent format in which collaboration is possible and desirable. As publishers, authors and designers they are examining artistic work processes and reflect on the potential of art in various contexts. We are one but we are two–we are two but we are one within the signature, a collaboration, a production phase, a setting, within and towards the world.
